Apply the All or and Nothing or Leave Entries on List settings to help control how values are pulled from a List and function within a process flow.

In FlexSim, there are several options to help you control how values on a List function within your process flow.
00:11
Leave Entries On List retains values on a List even after they are pulled and moved forward in your process flow.
00:19
You can also apply All or Nothing to only pull entries from a list once all required values are available.
00:26
Here, two process flows have been set up, one to demonstrate the Leave Entries on List function
00:33
and another to demonstrate the All or Nothing function.
00:36
Pull from List Quick Properties is opened to show where you can access these options.
00:42
To understand the All or Nothing function, first, review what happens when this option is not selected.
00:50
The simulation is Run and then paused when a token is pulled from the List.
00:56
Open Pull from List Quick Properties, where you see that it is set up to Require the puller tokens to pull 2 of the same Type from the List.
01:05
However, the default behavior is to pull and release tokens as they become available.
01:12
This means that the puller token finds a value to pull,
01:16
then pulls and releases the token while waiting for its second value to meet the Require criteria.
01:23
Open Pull from List Quick Properties again, select All or Nothing, and then Reset and Run the simulation.
01:34
Tokens on the left remain in the Push to List activity until the puller token can fulfill the Require Number,
01:41
and then they are released to the next activity.
01:44
Next, review the Leave Entries on List option.
01:49
With the View Entries dialog open for the List, Run the simulation.
01:55
The puller token pulls and moves items forward in the process flow.
02:01
Click one of the puller tokens, and in Properties, you can see the assigned label that corresponds to the pulled token.
02:10
However, the values are not removed, but remain on the list,
02:14
creating a comprehensive view of all values pushed to the List throughout the simulation.
02:20
This is useful if you wish to use the List as an informational database, or to keep track of all entries.
02:27
Now you can use the Leave Entries on List and All or Nothing options
02:32
to help manage how values on your List function within you process flow.
